This webinar is free to FMI members
Seminar Description:
As consumers continue to demand that the food they purchase meets certain production and transparency criteria, there has been increased pressure for companies to consider various factors and claims related to sustainability. These factors can range from compostability, recycling, and other sustainability claims to bans on certain materials such as phthalates and PFAS.
In part one of this two-part series, attorneys from Keller and Heckman will provide a general overview of the developments associated with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) as well as chemical-specific restrictions and prohibitions that are emerging at the federal, state and even local level. These issues impact not only food packaging materials and a variety of other products, but also supply chain relationships that your companies may need to consider moving forward. We hope that you can join us.
